The image in Corel seems the same as the png from the free program. Here's a link to the resulting png from hpgs ftp://ftp.sonic.net/pub/users/rexa/E1938A/E1938_asdrawb.png Corel opened the hpg ok, but needed some work to get it on the page size. As I mentioned, I did have to remove a little bit of the hpg file to get it to work with the hpgs program. Here are the first few lines of the hpg file ____ IN; PW .1875,1;PW .1875,2;PW .1875,3; PW .1875,4;PW .1875,5; PW .375,6;PW .1875,7;PW .1875,8; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 2:.J.K.I90; 0; 17:.N50; 19:INIP-21184,-16612,21184,16612SC-5296,5296,-4153,4153IW-5296,-4153,364,4114SP1PA-684,1258PD; ... ____ I changed that to ____ IN; PW .1875,1;PW .1875,2;PW .1875,3; PW .1875,4;PW .1875,5; PW .375,6;PW .1875,7;PW .1875,8; INIP-21184,-16612,21184,16612SC-5296,5296,-4153,4153IW-5296,-4153,364,4114SP1PA-684,1258PD; ... ____ since the program and I both didn't know what the extra lines meant. I cut them out in a text edtitor and saved the file for input to the hpgs program. Then it worked ok. I had renamed this new file to test2.hpg and then I used this command line for the program (in a DOS box) hpgs -d png_rgp -o test2.png test2.hpg The png version seems a bit more useful to me than pdf, as many graphics programs will open the png and allow editing. Fewer programs are available to manipulate pdf's. The png is viewable and printable in Irfanview, but looks a little better when I open it in Ulead Photoimpact, that I had here. Hope that helps. -Rex _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
